Premier Membership
RILA also offers a limited number of Product Manufacturer Premier Memberships for those companies that want the opportunity to have their president or CEO sit on the RILA Board of Directors. Premier Members pay flat dues of $125,000 a year. This membership tier is extended as an invitation of the Board of Directors Nominating Committee. Companies that are interested in this tier may express their interest in order to provide information to the Nominating Committee.
As a Board Member, the president/CEO will have full access to all Board of Directors events throughout the two-year term and one vote on the board. He/she will receive updates on all policy issues. Premier Members will assist RILA in gathering data necessary to communicate effectively the value of the retail industry to the national economy. They also agree to participate in RILA's PAC, grassroots and grasstops policy efforts.
